Scanning a Credit Card in Wallet

I know that, technically, you can enter credit card information in manually, but does anyone know if you can enter it in accessibly by the photo scan method?

I just tried it and I keep getting a kind of blipping sound occasionally, but I don’t know what that means.

I second this suggestion. I know I scanned my credit card and just needed to enter my CVV manually. I don't know what those blipping sounds mean because I did this months ago and I mute my phone.

The sounds mean you are almost int he field of view you need to get the number. Try this. put the card on a table or on your lap. Put the phone directly on top of the card, then pull up straight. so raise the phone and keep it as still as possible. As you feel the vibrations, if enabled or hear the beeps then you can slightly move the phone. It takes practice to just keep going.

While I've not used this app specifically I've found in general the biggest challenge for me when scanning things is keeping my camera still. I've found it helps me a lot if I bend the elbow on my arm holding the phone to a 90 degree angle then hold that arm up against my body to keep it sort of stable. I hope that helps.
